asked to determine if there was a“proper” procedure. The Tribune decided there was only one way to decide
the issue, and that was go to the King himself. So a letter was despatched to
the Private Secretary at Sandringham.The reply, on His Majesty’s embossed stationery which bears the royal coat of arms, came this week, via the Governor-General at Ottawa. A letter signed by J. F. Delaute, assistant secretary to the Governor-General, read: "I am de
sired by the Governor-General to send you the enclosed letter which has been
received from the Private Secretary to the King.”
The Royal letter dated December 30, from Sandringham, Norfolk, read;“Dear Sir:“Thank you for your letter of December 10th.“I am afraid that I cannot give you any definite answer to your question
since different methods are used in different places to drink the King’s health.
Most of them are established by long tradition and your way of doing it sounds as good as any of them. It cer

some help to you and your brother Kiwanis."Kiwanians carry out their toast as
follows: Rise, glass in hand, and sing “God Save the King”, then raise glasses and drink "The King”.

Leigh Snider Gets New Post
John McBride Takes Place
Ingersoll lost^ one air force veteran this week and got another In exchange.The veteran leaving is Leigh H. Snider, K.C., well-known in this area, and a man who will be missed. He has
been appointed to the department of the Public Trustee, Osgoode Hall, Toronto^ which department looks after
estates and trusts not handled privately.The veteran who is taking his place is John C. McBride, of Toronto, who
has taken over Mr. Snider's legal practice, and will be using the same offices.This is the climax to Mr. McBride's life-long ambition—his own practice. Until coming here, he was assistant legal counsel for Swift-Canadian Co.
Ltd., at Toronto. He wanted a practice “in a thriving, progressive community”, and in Ingersoll he feels he’s got it.
Born in Orangeville, Mr. McBride, a bachelor, is tire son of Mr. and Mra. J.
A. McBride, retired farm family. A sister, Mary, is a nurse at Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto. Another sister is
Mra. H. S. Randall, of Vancouver.John did a stint in the Rqyal Bank, leaving to join the R-CAT. where he
served ns a pilot, training navigators. He graduated from Osgoode Rall in 1948. A member of the United Church,
he is fond of all kinds of sports, particularly skiing and badminton, and hopes to take part in community
affairs.

Ingeraoll will vote Tuesday, April 18, on the questions of having a government liquor store, government brewers’ warehouse, or both, in the town.
Town council, Monday night, passed with no comment a by-law authorizing the vote. This action followed setting ofthe date by the Liquor License Board upon receiving from
Town Clerk R. E. Winlaw a petition signed by at least 25 per cent, of Ingersoll’s electorate asking that the vote be taken. A majority of 60 per cent, is required to bring liquor or beer stores there. On the occasion of the last vote, in 1945, it wasbeafen by 92 votes.Councillor Thomas Morrison, moving passage of the by- Uw, seconded by Councillor Fred Wurker, said council had to pass the by-law. “It’s a must with us, to give the electorate a
chance to vote on this question^” he said. There was no other comment.Mr. Winlaw read a communication from C. E. Woodrow, solicitor for the board, stating the petition had been examined and a date for the vote set. He said the petition would be kept in Ingersoll for the next four weeks, to give managers of both sides of the question a chance to examine it, then returned to Toronto.
Mr. Woodrow said the Chief Electoral Officer, Alex. C. Lewis, had been notified of the impending vote.
“This is really something for your department,” chuckled Mr. Morrison, nodding to Councillor Topham, as he introduced the by-law. “it comes under the heading, fire, water.” Mr. Topham is chairman of the fire, water and light committee.

Donald Runs, Then Squawks
Ducks Fate Worse Than Death
Donald Callander nearly met a fate worse than death last week.Donald, the Callander duck, a
tough little rascal whose main hobby is scaring h - - - out of dogs, was
peacefully minding his own business in his own backyard when he looked up to see a pair of vicious talons
aimed straight at him, and a pair of huge wings ready to take him skyward.He began to duck and to squawk.“I think it must have- been asnowy owl,” said Mra. J. W. Callander. “It was huge, with terrific
wings, and poor Donald was just about frantic. 1 heard Donald
squawking at the door, and went out to find him trying madly to escape into the house or into the garage,
and everytime he ducked, the bird —Or owl—swooped down on him. He was running back and forth
squawking madly, and I’m sure he
Donald, sitting at Mrs. Callander's
side, wiped a feverish wing over his forehead in agreement.“I went out to try and get him
into the garage,” Mrs. Callander continued, "and when this thing roared down on both of us. I duck
ed into the garage too. It circled around and attacked for about 15
minutes, but must have got scared when I went out. Then he left- But he hadn’t laid a claw on Donald— Donald wai too fast for him.”
Donald, she says, now always keeps one eye cocked skyward, and
both the garage and back doors open just in case.
Our lady was just beginning to feel that this would be a most ridiculous way to die, and perhaps help should be called, when the deer bounded away on its own.

Ingersoll’s Y Is Lauded
By Famed Guest Speaker
Town Gets $200
For Wartime Lots
The town is going to get $200 for
each lot in the Kensington Park wartime housing development. There are 35 lots involved, and the town stands
to make a fair amount of money accepting the offer of the Central Mort- gage and Housing Corp.
W. W. Scott, for the Corporation, wrote that veterans living in the homes were going to get the opport
unity of buying them. The Corporation offered the town $200 for each iot, and on motion of Councillor Mor
rison, seconded by Councillor Fred Wurker, it as decided to accept the offer. ,Counci), acting on the request of W. L. Thurteli, put $600 at the disposal of the Public Library Board, and, at the request of B. W. Wittig,
secretary treasurer, put $1,200 to the credit of the Separata School Board. Council also voted $75 to the Salvation Army, at London, “to assist in their noble work."Council promised to consider a re
quest from David Campbell, representing the Junior Chamber of Commerce, for a contribution of $50-$10b toward defraying costs of the jay-
cees’ Santa Claug parade. Mr. Camp, bell suggested the parade was a big
success so far as the town was com cerncd. He said next year’s parade would be bigger and better, but would not probably cost as much since the people were now aware of it.
Resignation of Jam'es Henderson from the Parks Board was accepted with regret, and Reginald E. Stew
art was appointed in his stead. G. W. Pittock, Ingersoll's TVA representative, thanked council for its kind
words on his behalf, said he would be glad to continue as Ingeraoll TVA representative, and said he felt the Ingeraoll project would do all re
quired of it in protecting Ingeraoll and area from the ravages of floods.Hugh Palmer, secretary to the board of .governors of CBC, said they
had received council's representations on behalf of the Lions air bingo. He noted that the board had recently decided to consider a regulation against
such activities, and this would be dealt with at a Toronto meeting shor
tly, and the Ingeraoll representarions would be presented.
“The YMCA is doing a terrific job among the youth of the world; we never have to rehabilitate a man
who’s been through the Y.”These are the words of J. Alex Edmison, K.C., of the John Howard Society, and one of the world’s experts on the rehabilitation of men gone wrong. He was guest speaker
at the annual meeting of the YMCA in the St. Janies'/Anglican church, when 1949 Y reports showed great
work done here.Introduced by R. G. Start, and personally thanked by J. C. Herbert,
who presided, Mr. Edmison said he wag greatly impressed by the Ingersoll Y reports. “It is indeed a com
munity Y, serving the community in u monumental way,” he said.
he paid tribute to C. Hamilton
Gosse, Y secretary, who said expansion of Y facilities here was needed.Mr. Edmison said during last year
78,650 men and women came out of Canada’s jails, reformatories and penitentiaries. “That’s quite an army
—it will take quite a long time to get these people rehabilitated."The average ex-prisoner comes
from s slum or depressed housing urea—usually from quite an unsatisfactory home. The child never had
a sense of security in his home. He knows no trade. His schooling is limited. It is a challenge to us, to build
up the church, the home and the school and put down this crime. The Y is doing great work in this direction.”
at the head table, and since it was a joint-service club meeting, each ser
vice club head was asked to say a few words. Tom Morrison, representing the mayor, lauded the work of the Y and added “if you want support, it will be gladly given by the public at large.”
Mr. Edmison drew the winning ticket for the Women’s Auxiliary quilt draw. It was won by Carl Beatty,
firs. Bisbee held the box with the tickets. W. A. C. Forman thanked the St. James’ ladies for the dinner, and Mrs. F. W. Jones and Mrs. Russell Nunn responded. Mr. Henley gave the Y treasurer’s report, which lauded
the work of Mr. Gosse and his fellow-
endeavored “to serve youth to the full, and we will continue to do so.” “If the Y is to progress further in Inger
soll, and it must, we must examine our facilities, and see if they can be expanded, or if new, larger facili
ties must be built,” he said. He thanked everyone for their work in behalf
A wire from Gordon B. Henry said: “Best wishes, and may we all
work together for a better community in 1959."
Mr. Herbert praised the- work of Bob Waterhouse, at the Y.
Head table guests were: Mr. and Mra. Gordon Bisbee, Mr. and Mra. Harold Wilson, Mr, and Mrs. C. H.
Gosse, Mr. and Mra. Carl Palmer, Miss Vi Drummond,, Mr. and Mra. All. Boniface, Mr. and Mra. J. R. Heeney, Mr. and Mra. R. G. Start.

life than education, and these gentlemen are devot
ing a great deal of their time and energy to this
important work in our community. Long hours of
thought and work are given by this board, at the
sacrifice of personal interests, that our boys and
girls will have an education second to none. There

What Other* Say i
There "Fepphole” Driver*
Thane people who drive with theh car window* steamed over or blocked with stow are simply asking for trouble. They can’t »«• anything approaching
from the aide or behind. Indeed some at them have no more than a peephole In which to view the road ahead.If anyone was fool enough to drive with a blanket
draped over his car window* the police would soon put him where he belonged. In the interest of safety, not only for themaeh-M but all other* on the road, these other "blind" driver* should be chocked up, too.Whatever the advantage* of there sloping wind- shields end back windows certainly the shedding of
rnw was not one of them. But even if it means stopping occasionally to wipe them off that h a small price to compare with a bashed fender, let »lcme
some more serious accident.And there to no excuse at all for driving with window* fogged over. Most car* are equipped with
automatic device* to keep the windshield clear and a little fresh air will handle the other*. Opening a window may mean a Httte les* comfort for the pas
sengers but it may save them and others a trip to the hospital or the morgue.(Financial Poet)
For the Best Out of Life
Those people who regard their work as just a routine job are cheating themselves. It doesn't make a great deal of difference; whether one is building a coal bin or a cathedral, the result is the same. In his first message to 112,000 employees of the Canadian National Railways, President Donald Gordon sums it up neatly. He says:“ I hsve found always that those men and women who work with enthusiasm and loyalty, who take
a satisfaction out of capacity performance in whatever task comes their way, really get a lot more fun out of living, and as well have that best of all sat
isfactions. the pride of a job well dona This philosophy is badly needed in the world today and an expansion of it will help people of goodwill preserve
the heritage of freedom which is such a precious part of our way of life."A man is robbing himself of something that money
cannot buy when he heeds those who would have him do a* little as possible for his daily wage, who would have him put four hours time into a job
which can be done in two.(Financial Post)

Ex-Ingersoll Man

My Word, Folk*, Look At This—
Gaily Colored Telephone*
Brightly colored telephones, it would seem, arc
here. In Toronto last week two hundred went on
sale with everything from pekm red to dark gold
and oxidized silver for the subscriber to choose
from. Just as the old upright telephone ia a thing
of the past — pushed there by the hand set — so
will the plain homely black telephone soon be a
relic of bygone days, it's place in one’s affections
upsurped by a shining ornament gaily beaming at
one as it radiates old pink with ivory bands.
How uninspiring the dull black surface of the
present model must be to, for instance, the tired
business man who suddenly recalls that he hasn't
phoned old Jones in Montreal as he was supposed
to do. As he struggles with his sleep-befuddled brain
at one o'clock in the morning for suitable words,
how great is the temptation to just say nothing and
sit watching that calm inky surface? But if sitting
gleefuyy on the table is a dazzling telephone that -
displays a* much ingenuity of pattern as a Picasso
he'll be all too glad to talk to old Jones — just to
get away from that wretched telephone monster
with the baleful, sea green stare. /—
Of course, those people who would not normally
go for the more youthful greens blues, reds — yes,
yellows too — may well be ensnared by the thought *
of old brass, statuary bronze, dark gold and oxi
dized silver. The rainbow phones might well be
classed with the current trend in bathroom fittings
which can be bought in various pastel shades. One
doesn't wash any cleaner because the water is in a
delicately blue bowl. Nor does one, it is to be sup
posed, speak any more effectively because the words
are going into an emerald green receiver.
For Breakfast TomorrowBacon and Egg*
Someone has already hit upon the bnght idea of launching an “Eat More Eggs” campaign. It is pointed out that if every Canadian, mon, woman and child, were to eat just 37 more eggs per year,
we would not have to worry about an export market, and the distressing situation in which the Canadian farmer finds himself.To our way of thinking the "Eat More Eggs” campaign could be a great idea if it received enough push to have it impressed upon the minds of every
Canadian housewife as well a* those she is feeding.it has been shown in the first half of the 20th century that large scale advertising brings about mass sales. Yet modem advertising methods have, to our knowledge, never been applied on behalf of the lowly egg. No doubt even a small but well-plan
ned adva-tising campaign would show considerable results.A sizzling plate of bacon and-fried eggs is just
what everyone of us needs for breakfast each morning to put us in a happy frame of mind for the rest of the day. Well, why not?(St. Marya Joumal-Argus)

How To Lose Our Friend*
And Upset More People
We heard a few words the other day that we
hadn’Uhcard before. Colorful, too, They issued from
the lips of Ane of our great American cousins, who generally rlurnSsto the U.S.A, with glowing tales
of their neighbors to the north. This man won’t,
though.
He had stopped on Thames street, for breakfast,
glowing with anticipation of a plate of bacon and
eggs, he flung open his door — to almost break his
arm as the door slammed against the curb.
Those high curbs, which either grind the bottom
of doors or stops them from opening at all, are
losing Us friends every day. They were okay when
cars rode high in the air, but they’re just doorjams
for the slinky numbers of today.
Something has to be done.
We hope it will be after the snow (or rather,
winter) _ha* gone.
Notes on the Editor's P ad.
We of The Tribune generally feel that not only
are we abreast of the times, but sometimes — we
hmg — ahead of it There are moments, however,
when we ask ourselves. Like last week, for instance.
The pages came up, several people checked them.
Everything is okay, we said, and let the presses rolL
So we did. And all was well •— until morning. Two
wide-awake eyes had discovered something —• that
while it was a new year, 1^)60, our paper proudly
claimed on every page that ft was still 1949 —- Jan.
12, 1949. That boner, of course, caused a certain
amount of language, but no more than one a week
previous, when we said farewell to the 1949 council,
and proudly and whole-heartedly welcomed in that
of 1850. There are times when we feel Hke offering
the works to the lowest bidder!
The Bra** Spittoon
The item in the daily vents this week, stating that one of Canada’s large hotels had taken out the brass spittoons, leaving very few public places with
this more important item of furniture, has led us to do some investigating. There was a time when cuspidors or spittoons were common equipment in
all places where men were wont to congregate. The rotundas of hotels had nne beside each overstuffed -chair and one at the end of each settee. Professional
men, who were daily interviewing clients or patrons used to provide at least one spittoon in their offices and these large receptacles were to be found in corridors and lobbies of most public buildings.Here in Burford the spittoon seems to have dis-
tappeared also. We cheeked the grocery stores, hard
ware stores, furniture store, garages, the bank, and find that the spittoons were taken out ybar« ago.
Percy Sprowl said he used to have spittoons around the big pot-bellied stove which heated his store for many years, but as men gave up chewing tobacco
he found the cuspidor was only used by the children to deposit chocolate bar wrappers. The same situation exists in most business places in the village. Al. •
Balsdon, manager of Bnlsdon's Hardware, claims that the disappearance of the cuspidor is a result of an increasing number of women doing the shop
ping and very few of his lady customers have need of a spittoon.In the better, hotel rotundas, the cuspidors were
large and were made of brass, sometimes of a bright yellow and sometimes of a richer and more genteel coppery hue. These cuspidors, ft must be admitted,
served a utilitarian purpose in an age when men chewed tobacco. Hero in Burford, the Cornish House boasted os many as ten cuspidor* at one time., and
in checking up this week we found that the local hotel still had a couple in the pool room, which
served more as ash trays. The cuspidor in the hotel bar, which made an excellent target for many men in Burford in years gone by, baa now been taken out and the only receptacle used in the bar is a wastepaper basket behind the door, and this is used for its intended purpose—to; deposit waste paper.'It appears that chewing tobacco has been looked
upon with disfavor. It ha*'become more difficult to make the tobacco chewing habit compatible with
the more genteel usage. The consequence is that cuupidors and spittoons have become practically obsolete and forgotten.
Ono Burfordite, who claims he has chewed tobacco for over 40 years, says the only reason he ia able to continue with this man’s pastime is because. hi* wife doesn't smoke cigarettes. He fed* that the passing of the tobacco chewing habit among men is a result of so many women taking up cigarette *mo-,
king, which doesn't leave the man of the house with sufficient money to go out and buy his weekly plug.(Burford Advance)

Letter
To the Editor
December 27th, 1949.
Dear Mr. Editor:In front of me as I write this letter are the preliminary figure* on our
death and injury losses in Ontario from traffic accidents In the year just closed.
Yoy will be shocked, aa 1 always am by these figures. About 800 live* have been lost in traffic accidents during the year and at least 18,000
suffered personal injuries from which some of them are crippled for life.
There is some encouragement, but no satisfaction or comfort in the fart that statistically Ontario shorn a marked improvement In traffic safety.
Our death losses for 1949 will be about the same as in 1941.The traffic □ nj accident hazard was about 25 per
cent higher. In 1949, we had about 300,000 more vehicles, and a much larger motor tourist trade from the United States.Compared with 1941, the mileage travelled, based on gag consumption estimate*, will show that about two
end a half billion more miles of travel by motor was done in 1949.For the first 10 months of thi*
year, the personal injury rate per 100 million miles travelled was 201 compared with 253 in 1941 and the
death rate was down about one third, the figures being 14 deaths per 100 million miles in 1941 and 9.5 this
year.I mention these figures not to justify the 1949 traffic toll but as encour
agement to the many people and organization* who have aided the cause of traffic safety throughout the year.
The traffic safety movement in Ontario is growing in size and effectiveness. Without the Ontario safety movement, our traffic accident rate of
1941, pre-war years and the early part of 1946, might have continued. If that death rate had continued, we
would have .had nearly 25 per cent more traffic deaths in 1949.This part year, the Press, Radio,
schools, police, many service clubs, safety organizations, the operators and drivers of commercial vehicles and many thousands of citizen* have combined force5 to reduce the carnage on our streets and highways.
Assistant General Manager: he was promoted to General Manager in 1948, and elected a Vice-President in 1949, and President in 1950, succeeding Mr. W. G. More, who has been elected Deputy Chairman of
the Board of Directors.Mr. and Mrs. Johnston have two daughters, Helen, who is a teacher
at Forest Hill Village School in Toronto. and Frances, who is a third
year student in Art and Archeology at the University of Toronto.

friend was due m town — complete with new car
— and our little girl was with a circle of friends

went by, with nothing untoward, when outside, all

appeared to be a mobile junk heap, It puffed, it
wheezed, it groaned, it rattled, it shook. And the
rioeer it got. the worse it rounded. Finally ft rattled

COMMUNITY CENTRE
In last Thursday’s Junior ‘C game at the arena several heavy metal
pellet* were thrown on the ice and picked up by the officials to be sent to O.H.A. headquarters along with
their report on the game. Apart from the fact that this sort of conduct by fans can easily lead to injury of
players, it can also lead to the barring of the rink from further O.H.A. games. It has happened before and it can happen here. It you want to see hockey in Ingersoll DO NOT throw missiles onto the ice. If you
don't want to see hockey stay away— other people do.We know that thia message is in
tended for only two or three people and trust that the vast majority of, fans will understand the necessity!
for a strong-worded protest, taking no offense at what we have to say.

Chickadee
By Marjorie E. Cropp
When summer birds are gathering In large excited flocks
To journey to the south landAnd escape hard winter's knocks, There comes a small gay fellow Crying, “Brothers, look at me! Why don’t you stay and face it. Chickadee-dee-dee?"
Chickadee-dee I m so happy.
Chickadee-dee winter's fun! When the rude winds toss branches
I swing till their breath is done!I work while the earth is sleeping For the health of each loved tree—
Little brother of the snowflakes.Dee-dee chickadee-dee 1"

New Custom Dodge W ith Fluid Drive
New massive grille, enlarged rear window, chair- high seats, and smooth riding comfort are claimed as features of the new Custom Dodge shown above. The Dodge Fluid Drive, standard on all Custom Dodge models, minimizes the need for
clutch operation, and lessens the possibility of
Jx]
skidding on slippery roads, since it provides better
traction on muddy and heavy areas.
In addition to the 4-door sedan, a Club Coupe and 7-possenger sedan are also available in the Custom
Dodge models now on display.

ada going. The best speed was 136.94
mph. Another attempt was made Thursday, Oct, 6, but Miss Canada's
propeller shaft let go at the rudder bearing, and Wilson announced he
would abandon another attempt until spring.The story of thiB remarkable new boat dates back to the late fall of
1948, when E. A. Wilson of Ingersoll Ontario, one of Canada's leading
sportsmen, became determined upon challenging the United States for the British International (Harmsworth)
Trophy in a contest to be held in 1949. He decided to build a new boat, to be named Miss Canada IV. in succes
sion to his famed Gold Cup racer Miss Canada III., which she would
resemble closely.So Wilson went to England to confer with Rolls-Royce about a suitable engine for the new boat and to the
Royal Motor Yacht dub in London, trustees of the Harmsworth, to seek
a special dispensation of the rules to permit him to retain Van Patten, an American, to design the boat. The
"conditions under the deed of gift" required that design, engine and boat be of the country it represented. The
idea was to ensure a completely national effort on the part of each contestant in the greatest international
motorboat race.In selling the Harmsworth trustees
on amending the rules, Wilson pointed out that Van Patten had been a resident of Canada for many years
and that his "keel-knuckle” hull form was regarded by himself and
his associates as definitely a Canadian development. Van Patten was formerly chief engineer of Greavette
Boats, Ltd., one of Wilson’s industrial interests, and had designed Miss
Canada III. and various other of Wilson’s racing boat® and pleasure craft.
With the urging of J. Lee Barrett of Detroit, secretary of the Yacht- men's Assn, of America, and Rolls-
Royce officials, who were interested in seeing their aircraft engine in a Harmsworth challenger, the Harms
worth trustees were at length persuaded to amend the “conditions" to
remove all restrictions on nationality of designers of contestant boats.Wilson's challenge for the B.I.T.
arrived in the United States just before the deadline at the end of 1948.
The design of Miss Canada IV was begun on Wednesday, Dec. 20 and
actual construction was started early in 1949 at the plant of Greavette Boats, Ltd. at Gravenhurst, Ont.
The outstanding feature of Miss Canada IV.'s design is the Van Patten "keel-knuckle” hull form which
employs three major lifting surfaces and diferentiai spacing of the steps. This was exemplified in the earlier
Miss Canada Ill. </f 1938, known for years as the "mojlf beautiful racing
boat” as well as one of the smoothest and most spectacular and Astraea II.
of 1948.The crankshaft and propeller shaft were located concentrically in the hull
layout , as in Miss Canada III. but in contrast to Astraea, which has a vee- drive arrangement with the engine aft. Van Patten favors the vee-drive arrangement with the aft engine location for a better propeller shaft
angle, superior balance and therefore better performance, but peculiarities
of the Rolls-Royce “Griffon” engine required an angular engine installation. So the concentric arrangement
was chojen with the engine being located in the "middlebody” or midplane of the hull.
Extensive model tests were made, both hydrodynamics! and aerodynamical, and the latter was relied upon
more than the former as design criteria,, according to Van Patten. In the design great consideration was
given tp sea worthiness, directional stability, turning ability and the abi
lity to maintain high speeds in rough water.The new boat's hull (33ft. x 9 ft.
6 in.) structure consists of a laminated keel and stem assembly, transverse frames fewer in number and
much more widely spaced than is usual, parallel sister keelsons, white oak sheer and chine stringers which are also used as seam battens for the
bottom outer skin and larger than usual, Sitka spruce deck seam battens, and long engine beds of oak
fastened to floors and keelsons. A watertight bulkhead forms a forepeak buoyancy air compartment and
there is another bulkhead abaft of the engine compartmentThe bottom is built up of rotary- cut yellow birch plywood and African
mahogany spiled strokes bonded together, while the aides are multi-ply African mahogany plywood in a
single pane! per aide. The deek skin consists of three-ply African mahogany plywood In strokes bonded to transverse frames nnd seam battens.
The transom is mahogany. Sitka spruce, birch, white oak and maho
gany are used in the various frame
camshafts and certain engine auxiliaries arc driven from tha gear. The cooling water pump, designed by
Volker, is a gear type with pump gears of special tooth form and a separate driving gearset. The water-
jacketed exhaust manifolds are of stainless steel sheet-formed and welded. An air horn was added for the carburetor to eliminate the possibility of inhaling bilge-water through the low-mounted air intake. The stuffing
box is of Van Patten grease gland type attached to a cast aluminum alloy shaftlog by a neck of rubber hose
and hoseclamps.The steering gear is of Maries type designed by Harold Wilson us
ing certain Gemmer steering components. Ingersoll Machine is Canadian licensee of the Gemmer Corp, of
Detroit. The hardover angle is 39 degrees and the steering wheel has 2 and ope-third turns from hardover
to hardover. The steering wheel Is specially made of steel plate with moulded on resilient synthetic rubber
rims.The rudder is of Van Patten wedge-
section design and is mounted in self- aligning anti-friction bearings. The after end of the propeller shaft is
carried in a trunnion bearing mounted in the lower part bf the rudder. A single intermediate strut is the
only other outboard propeller shaft support. However, the single strut may be replaced by two similar struts
before next season. The present setup is adequate, except in event a propel-
ler fails or goes out of pitch.
The propeller rotation is righthand, which permits an offset of the centre -of gravity to starboard apd
thus facilitates clockwise (Harms- worth course) racing which involves turning to starboard. The Harms-
worth can be run clockwise or anticlockwise now. Miss Canada III. and Astraea II. have left-hand propeller
rotation especially for counter clockwise (Gold Cup) racing and a consequent offset of centre of gravity to
port. Thia notion of propeller rotation, which is the opposite to con
ventional practice in the United States, fs n pet Van Patten theory. In actual practice, Miss Canada IV. is said to turn equally as well in ei
ther direction so that she is usable without any change for any sort of racing on any course.
The best propellers used so far are said to be those designed by Wm.
Kennedy and Sons, Ltd. of Owen Sound, Ont-, Canada’s leading manufacturer of propellers of all sizes from outboard to liner. Both two-
blade and three-blade have been used extensively, with apparently little ,
difference in results. The propeller dimensions are also among the racing secrets.
A single fin, also a Van Patten wedge-section, is used, located so that the centre of lateral resistance with
free helm is closely on the longitudinal centre of gravity. The boat is said
to steer easily, neither over-steering or understeering on turns.For the success of Mis9 Canada IV.,
Van Patten hastens to credit his assistants, Judson Crawford-Smith, and R. J. Brinsmead, who is a Canadian,
ns well a8 E. A. Wilson, her owner, whom he calls the “master mind” of the entire project. Harold Wilson and
Charles Volker, as well as officials at Greavette Boats, Ltd.Owner Wilson's (fetennination to
have him as a designer. Van Patten attributes not to mean that the British and Canadians are without able
designers of high-speed craft but rather as a whim of Wilson's. Van
Patten also states that it means that recognition of design principles and engineering are tending to become more and more internationalized.
That Miss Canada IV. did not win the Harmsworth is beyond the point. Her new record has settled any ques-.
tion about her capabilities. Another! Harmsworth challenge has been re-1
ceivedl which means there will be lots of interest in unlimited class I racing in 1960. 1

The county's livestock in 1812
consisted of 78 horses, 66 oxen and ; 146 cows. In the Township of Ox- ।
ford there was only one taxable house, built of squared logs.There is an interesting note for
1812 in an old county book con

Plot (Woodstock).' A few stories have come down to us of the War of 1812. When J
war broke out, a Mr. Karn, from • just north of the' present village of '
Beachville, hitched up his team and drove a wagon load of recruits down ' to Niagara. Only’ about half of them i
returned. Later a local woman walked to Niagara with socks she ,
had knit for her soldier husband. Sixteen-year-old William Dodge,
took his father's musket, which was almost too heavy for him to lift,
and went to war in his father’s place. When his mother wept, he
told her that the family needed his father more than they needed him.
A neighbor boy, Warner Dygert, went with him. These two families
lived about three mites south of the
present village, on the Ingersoll Road. The two lads fought all
through the Niagara campaign, and when the war was over, walked
home again, asking their way, and
begging Jood and lodging from settlers along the route.
The Oxford Militia was mobilized early in 1812 under Lieut, CoL
Bostwick, of Dover Mills, and was on active service almost continuously
until its close in 1814, The regiment took part in numerous skirm
ishes and five actual battles:
Detroit, August 16th, 1812.Fort Erie, November 26th, 1812.
Nanticoke Creek, Noveinber 13th,
1813.Lundy' Lane, July 25th, 1814.Malcolm’s -Mills, November 6th,
1814.During the first year of the war, the British fleet, under Captain Barclay, had control of Lake Erie, with
the superior American fleet bottled up' in Preaqu’ile Harbour. Supplies for the army in the Detroit area
were brought overland from the Hcad-of-the-Lake, by way of Brant's
Ford, down to Dover, From here they were carried by water.In the summer of 1813 the people of Dover invited Capt. Barclay to a banquet in his honoZ 'Whether or not his conscience troubled him is not recorded, bui he attended the affair. When he got back to Presqu’ilethe American fleet had escaped. They
chased the British fleet /off the lake, ending the movement of supplies for Detroit by bout from Dover. Now they had to be earned by

Charles Askin does not mention Martin's Tavern at Beachville in 1806, but by 1812 it stood a mile
south of the present mill dam, where the side road meets the Ingersoll Road. Legend says that it was fitted
with secret doors and that wise travellers slept with one eye open.A wagon train, loaded with sup
plies for General Proctor's army in the west, and accompanied by a paymaster in charge of funds for the soldiers' pay, put up for the night
nt Martin's tavern. The money disappeared. Legend says the money was buried and the boxes tilled witn
rocks. The wagon train went to Ita destination unsuspecting. Otnctai search was made ahd spasmodic digging carried on for years, but the
treasure was never discovered. Suspicion pointed however at a certain local family who became unaccountably well co do. Many years later, when the father of thi* family died, he left a box of money made up of
Spanish coins, gold sovereigns and naif sovereign*, and American 5IQ and »20 gold pieces, such as bad
tilled the Governmental money boxes in 1812.The" old story casts an interesting
light on the times, upon the on- settled and unformed state of this young nation, when some of ita citizens would steal the pay of Ita own

A five-point programme for world.
Muir’s Presidential address at the Annual Meeting of shareholders of
The Royal Bank of Canada. Mr. j Muir also stressed Canada’s economic
development and her continuing role in world economy.Reviewing international currency experience during the 19th and 20th'
centuries, Mr. Muir referred to the) stability of sterling before 1914. "Several important factors contribu
ted to the enduring dependability of the sterling standard. First, debtor' nations accepted exchange parities which they were able to maintain through relatively small adjustments of, prices and money incomes. Second,,
debtors were willing to accept the dicipline of the gold standard and U/ acquiesce, under the rules of that standard, in the price and income ad- i
justments which their trading position required. And third, the world’s, creditor. Great Britain, made addi
tional sterling available through the' vigorous international lending of her financial and business community and
the free trade policy of her govern-' ment.”
COMBINE PAST, PRESENT
PRESIDENT ADVOCATES
FIVE STEPS TOWARD
WORLD TRADE REVIVAL
Devaluation has at least broken
the log jam; but we must take immediate advantage of this initial break in the barriers to trade
which have been thrown up by overvalued exchange rates and rigidly held in place by govern
ment controls.The steps, in my opinion, are as follows:
First, nations of the world should ro-learn a basic lesson of the first world war, and settle their war debts. . . .
Second, for a certain fixed period, we should let the market deter
mine rates of exchange, as it did immediately after the first world
"In meeting any emergency
must combine the lessons of the past with inventiveness and imagination in the present. In the past, as in any relatively normal period, responsi
bility for international economic stability was divided between the creditor and debtor countries of the world.
But, in the period immediately following the second world wark the primary responsibility lay with thei
creditors; and in meeting this responsibility, the United States and Can-, ada embarked on an unprecedented
program of loans and gifts to the war-tom countries of Europe . . ."
Third, at the end of this period
of free-market valuation, we should stabilize currencies by reference to the rates which the free-
market has determined. . . .Fourth, having stabilized exchange rates at the level decreed by the free-market, the world must adopt some device to keep them that way. . . . The gold standard
kept nations within their means before the days of the great illusion that international equilibrium can only be achieved by clamping the fetters of exchange control upon free international trade.
Fifth, the gold standard (or its equivalent) must be made to work by tile proper discipline not only of
debtor but of creditor nations as well. This means a return to the two basic requirements of responsible creditor nations: vigorous
national lending and free trade.
Mr. T, H. Atkinson, General Manager, reviewed the 1949 Annual Re-
Eort and stated that the bank's assets ad risen by 1112,498.000 during the year to 12.334,985,000 and that liquid
asset* constituted 76.27% of the total liabilities to the public. Commercial loans had also increased. Mr. Atkin
son reported deposits at * new all- time high of 12,192.140,000, an amount two-and-a-half times that of 9
years ago. The number of deposit accounts totalled nearly 2,000,000 which, included more than 1,500,000
savings accounts m Canada. An increase of $1,400,810 in profits over the previous year was noted by Mr. Atkinson and after providing for the
customary deductions, including taxes ' of $4,435,000 asd dividends for share- 1 holders, there Iwas a carry forward 1 in Profit and Ij>ss Account of $3,860,- '

Referring to the provision of new 1 premises, Mr. Atkinson said: “Since 1 our last report eleven new branch

SERVICE TO TRADERS
Mr. Atkinson stressed the role played by the Royal Bank’s 62 branches abroad in facilitating for
eign trade. “For well over a quarter of a century we have operated an extensive chain of our own branches
in foreign countries; in fact, at certain points we have been established for over half a century, and as at
Nov. 30, 1949, we had 62 offices which included representation in the key cities of the major South American Republics, throughout the Caribbean area, and, of course, we are established in London, England, and New York City and our affiliate operates in Paris, France . .
"The widespread chain of branches coupled with our extensive corres
pondent relations throughout the world serves as a constant source of statistical and other information in
cluding import' and exchange regulations which otherwise might not be readily available to us, and our central bureau in Head Office is thus ina position to give up-to-date and com- lete information to Canadian compan

PROUD OF STAFF
A warm tribute to the bank staff was paid by Mr. Atkinson. “There’s
nothing this Bank ia prouder of than the quality of its personnel. Within every officer, I believe, there is a fine
sense of pride in this great institution —pride not only in its achievements and it8 pre-eminent place in Canadian and world banking, but pride,- too, in its being a good place to work. The executive, supervisors and branch managers have all travelled the long
road of apprenticeship within the Bank; they talk the same language
JIS the young people who are following the same route, and they are united in trying to make working condi
tions as pleasant as possible . .

must embark on a bold policy of immigration. In this way we can increase the quantity of the one re
source that is in short supply. In this way we can remove the one factor that sets a present limit to the growth
of our natural wealth. Against this prospect a few hundred millions of U.S. dollars'that measure our pre

pendence does not mean a reduction in trade. We do not have to turn our backs on the interdependence of nations that accompanies international conimerce. Trade among independent, industrially developed countries is the
most profitable trade of *11. The world is gradually moving away from trade between industrialized countries and under-developed areas, away from trade that requires colonial dependence, to trade among Industrial
equals. And in this evolution of world economy, Canada is at present leading the way.”
In the development of Canada's natural resources, their use by a larger population, and the exchange of her increased industrial output in
“an expanding and enriched foreign trade," Mr. Muir saw “an effective guarantee that Canada
